Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a discretionary federal grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start, to select a single grantee to operate Head Start services in Okaloosa County, Florida. The program falls under the Income Security and Social Services activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.600 (Head Start). ACF is seeking a qualified organization that can deliver comprehensive Head Start programming for eligible children and their families living in the county, consistent with Head Start performance expectations and community needs.
The opportunity makes approximately $2,138,770 available each year for program operations, with an anticipated one award. The listed award ceiling matches the annual amount ($2,138,770), and the award floor is stated as $0, meaning there is not a guaranteed minimum award level beyond what is proposed and approved. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, which generally means the selected grantee must contribute non-federal resources to meet Head Start match expectations (the specific percentage and allowable forms of match are typically detailed in the full announcement and related Head Start regulations and guidance).
Eligible applicants include a broad range of entities that have the capacity to operate a Head Start program locally. These include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) organizations), community-based and faith-based organizations that meet eligibility requirements, and for-profit agencies. Public entities are also eligible, such as city or township governments, county governments, independent school districts, and certain housing authorities. Institutions of higher education (both public/state-controlled and private) and small businesses are listed as eligible as well, along with federally recognized Native American tribal governments. At the same time, the announcement explicitly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving an award under this funding opportunity.
Timing details in the source information show the opportunity was posted and created on May 16, 2012, with an application due date of August 14, 2012. Applications were required to be submitted electronically no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. The archive date is August 15, 2012, indicating this is an older, archived competition rather than an open solicitation today, though it remains useful as a record of the competition and its requirements at that time.
